  So I had an appointment with a new Rheumatologist last week. We were off work so it was a good time to get that appointment scheduled. I notes several things that just didn't seem right to me, and I am wondering if any of you have had similar experiences. I know that I am coming from the experience of the Mayo Clinic, so I am a bit spoiled in terms of how visits go, but this was almost depressing.First, the doctor I saw basically focused on osteoarthritis. Granted, they treat both at this...

  Anyone tried it?I have been on MTX, Sulfasalazine, Plaquenil, and Humira since January. Add in to the Prednisone when things flare, and my doctor has kept me on 5mg until I see her next Friday. On Monday of this last week I started the Paelo diet, and discovered a reaction to red and green peppers, and so I searched out other alternatives.The Autoimmune Protocol came up, and I have been doing that since Thursday. It is not terrible hard, but no dairy, eggs, dark chocolate, night shades (which I...

  My folks live out there, as do my sister, her husnamd and their two kids. I've often wanted to move there, but never had any reason to. Then I went out during Christmas break and basically had no symptoms whatsoever. Granted I was on vacation so I didn't have work stress, but the weather was similar to cold in MN where I live now, and then rapidly warmed to 66 degrees the last day I was there. Then we came back to MN, with the windchill, the temperature different was -104 degrees. I think I...

  Holy cow...I have had a great two days since posting. Energy levels were improved, I was at work for two days, and weas very active with my team. My pool was opened on Monday and I had the energy to do some of the work on getting it clean so when it is 82 next Tuesday it will be ready. I suspect I may have overdone it a bit yesterday as I vacuumed the whole thing but I felt good the entire while I was doing it - it was, in fact, exhilirating, because I know the reward I will get out of it next...
